Assuming he doesn’t completely shit the bed he can spin any mediocre tenure into a great success and now he has experience running a company.

Proven talent like Carly Fiorina, Gerald Levin, and Ken Lay?

What is interesting is that WW1 had a lot of the same elements yet did not produce the same community coming together. My theory is that a crisis is a necessary but not sufficient element. WW1 was ugly but was not existential. But WW2 scared the upper classes enough that they were willing to share part of the wealth for a while.

Feels completely inappropriate to me. Imagine someone came in with cancer and were told to pray it away. This is is the mental health version.

Yeah it allowed them to challenge traditional narratives like the earth is not flat and getting the measles vaccine is a good thing.

1. Marijuana was not invented today. 2. Marijuana is not tobacco.

What? They are incredibly linked.

Dude just stop.

Taxes. So insane.

Maybe if you suck them off hard enough they will give you a few crumbs after you are done.

What do you mean by “is”? What do you mean by “you”? By clear.

Pg is such a POS.

And we all lived happily ever after in our frictionless world of spherical cows.

That probation period never ends in the us. You can be fired at any time for nearly any reason.

The big companies all collude.

Doesn’t seem like it did it in Norway. Or the Us from the new deal until the 1970s. Or the vast majority of western Europe. This red scare stuff is tiring.

Or grim

Cutco?

The same decent at math, moderately ambitious people do well at both. Not 100% overlap but pretty large. If one side collapses the other side will get flooded.

Sure then I can compare China to Somalia to claim capitalism bad.

DPRK is a chinese buffer state run by a cult of personality where South Korea is a strategic allied US country. Like yes I too would take South Korea’s position? It has nothing to do with capitalism.

Did it? Doesn’t look too swift to me. Also why not compare Chinese life expectancy now to before communism? Looks pretty good.

Did they? Life is worse than before the financial crisis.

It can but not under the current system. People are far less likely to support social safety nets in a high immigration society. There just isn’t the social cohesion and trust necessary.

No they don’t. They want to work 40 hours a week, go on vacation twice a year, drive a couple of cars, have their wife stay home and raise the kids. All things possible 70 years ago but no longer possible.

You are willfully missing the point. You can’t compare Russia to South Korea to claim communism bad. Russia has and will screw up every system it tries. You need to compare communist Russia to capitalist Russia. There the comparison looks much less favorable.

Also your graph proves my point. The giant drop in life expectancy is when it transitioned from communism to capitalism.

Which matters not one lick to the average citizen. Norway is no superpower yet life is pretty good there.

Cool, I know half a dozen and I don’t even know that many people.

How did Russia fair under the Czars? How are they fairing now?

You think life and the Czars or under Czar Putin is better?

By what metrics? Life expectancy rose during communism and fell afterwords. Are you seriously going to try and argue it was better during the Czarist times?

The Russian empire tried communism. It was better than what they had before or since.

The Chinese tried communism. It worked far better for them than what they had before.
